Vegetable crops deformation assays for package height definition: a new approach Ensaios de deformação mecânica de hortaliças para a definição da altura de embalagens: um novo enfoque

In the present work one determined the threshold pile height below which cracking and other deformations do not occur in products with low apparent density such as lettuce, collard greens and bell pepper. Initially the threshold pile height was sought applying decreasing compression stresses equival...
